The Gladstone LDCC is aware of the predicted forecasts for tomorrow.

Th'e Banana LDMG activated on 24th December 2010 primarily in relation to flood water heights impacting on Theodore. The Gladstone DDCC moved to 'leaning forward' status with the disaster coordination centre in readiness for full activation.

The Banana Shire Local Disaster Management Group re-activated the Local Disaster Coordination Centre at 6.30am this morning in response to the increase in flood water in the Dawson River at Theodore, which occurred overnight as a result of storm rains at 5:00pm yesterday. The Centre will remain active and will r(love to an on-call basis as of 2300 hours tonight and reactivate at 0600 hours unless concerns over the D'awson River at Theodore increase. Advice that the flood peak for Theodore has been reviewed with a new pre'dicted height of 13.6m. It is expected that this level will stay at this height should the area not receive more rain. However, now expecting rain of approx 50-100ml each day in the area and rain forecast to continue up to Friday 31/12/10.

A further community briefing was held at 10:00am this morning to advise of the situation and possible cause of actions to be undertaken. Police and SES personnel have been conducting door knocks to residents likely to be affected by rising water levels in preparation of any likely evacuations. The height measurement in Theodore at 1900hrs today is 13.55m and steady. Height measurement in Moura at 1400hrs today is 127m and rising slowly. Height measurement in Baralaba at 1500hrs today is 13.6m and riSing. Levels are onstantly being monitored in liaison with the Bureau of Meteorology.

3st river level rises are also occurring downstream to Moura where a major flood peak to about 12.5 metres is expected in the next 24 hours. Levels will remain high into next week. Major flooding is rising at Baralaba, with fast rises expected during Friday as upstream floodwaters arrive. A major flood peak of at least 14 metres is expected over the weekend. Higher levels to 14.5 metres are possible. Flood levels at Baralaba are already similar to the 1983 flood.

The revised water level has resulted in some road closures in the local area. The level has now exceeded that recorded during the March 2010 flood event. Some local roads in the Theodore area have minor flpoding and caution has been urged with hose considering travelling these roads. Councillor Vaughn Becker and Gail Roylance (BSC) are on site in the Theodore area liaising with local residents, LECC and local em'ergency services/government agencies.

.There are no impending issues at this time except for the continual monitoring of Awoonga Dam levels as any sudden influx may impact on communities below the dam wall (Pikes Crossing , Benaraby, Tannum Sand Boyne Island) and at rear of the dam itself (Boyne Valley). The dam levels have increased to 41 .876 and the Gladstone Regional Council hold a current prediction at the rate of rise of 43m.

The Banana LDCC remains activated and the Gladstone DDCC at 'leaning forward' status with the disaster coordination centre in readiness for full activation.

Due to the less than anticipated rainfall experienced at Theodore the Dawson River actually fell this morning and is holding around 13.40m. This is being monitored closely by the Banana Local Disaster Coordination Centre and they advise that this height is subject to change in line with current meteorology predictions. Ergon Energy have informed that as a safety precaution power to houses where the water level begins to cover the floor will be cut. Due to the flood levels, any access to Theodore is still by boat or air at this stage. A town meeting occurred at the RSL at 12pm and residents of Theodore were advised to attend the RSL in the event they evacuate from their houses. There are still some residents living in there houses at the northern end of Theodore which have water surrounding them. These residents are happy to wait to see what the water level does before making a decision to evacuate and are aware of the emergency point when they wish to do so. At 1300hrs the Leichhardt Highway was reopened for 4x4 access only for south bound local traffic only as far as Palm Tree Creek (main road approval), reports are that Palm Tree Creek is sitting approximately .8m . The main road running north out of town through Fruit Salad Corner to Banana .,ains closed. There is an expectation that the river he ight may rise again tonight due to the behaviour of _al creeks. Cracow can not be accessed at this stage due to flooding near Delusion Creek . 7m and Station Creek at 1. 5m (Eidsvold).

Height measurement in Moura at 0630hrs today is 12.33m and steady. Height measurement in Baralaba at 0900hrs today is 13.9m and rising. Levels are constantly being monitored in liaison with the Bureau of Meteorology. Flood levels at Baralaba are already similar to the 1983 flood with further rises and higher levels possible with further forecast rainfall. Downstream of Baralaba, river levels above the 1983 peak are expected in the next few days. It is likely the Capricorn Highway bridge at Duaringa will be flooded on Sunday or Monday. Rises and major flooding is being recorded in the Dee River with moderate flooding expected in Don River at Rannes during Monday.

Efforts are being made to have John McDougall (BSC) relocate to Theodore on Sunday 26/12/10 to assist Cr Becker. Theodore SES have been filling and distributing sandbags to local Theodore residents. Signage has been placed at Banana, Taroom and Miles to notify the closure of the Highway to Theodore. Simi larly relief staff for Theodore SES have been hampered by the widespread road closures.

The only issues experienced at present have been with the misinformation from RACa trip planner. A number of car hire, tour operators have been refusing to refund or extend hire agreements with tourists as were being informed that there was an "alternate" route around Rockhampton through the Burnett and Leichardt Highway. Gladstone Comms yesterday contacted Police media and RACa yesterday to ensure the correct message was getting out to motorists. This should stem the flow of enquiries through the local police stations. No further issues are being experienced to date.
